Number of Customs & International Trade Compliance Interventions undertaken
Dear HM Revenue and Customs,
Under international law, HMRC are required to undertake post-clearance audits to economic operators.
I would be grateful if you could provide the number of Customs & International Trade Compliance Interventions undertaken post clearance to Economic Operators (traders registered with an EORI number) in the financial year 2021/22.
Where possible, I would be grateful if you could break this down to:
- desk based checks
- premises visits (also known as a post clearance audit under international law)
Also where possible, I would also be grateful if you could break down any figures by customer compliance group directorate e.g. individual & small business compliance; large business etc.
Thanks
Yours faithfully,
Charles Matter
